On Being A Bishop
Bishop Mwita together with other 25 Bishops in their early years of the episcopal ministry from around the Anglican Communion have been attending a course on 'On Being A Bishop' at the Canterbury Cathedral Study Centre since 23 January 2012. Bishop Mwita says "this has been a valuable time for prayer, reflection and fellowship with other church leaders from a wider Anglican family. I feel refreshed and challenged, and thank God for the organizers, especially the course director Canon Ed Condry and the course administrator Cathi Martin." The conference is an annual program of the Canterbury Cathedral, England. Canterbury Cathedral is a unique and historic place, not least because the Archbishop of Canterbury has his seat or chair there. In this way, it connects the Archbishop of Canterbury and indeed the Church of England with the rest of the Anglican Communion. The conference ended on 31 January.
